BY JAYSON BARNISKE

A huge procession of motor-cycles thundered down PicoAvenue in El Centro on Nov. 17announcing to the residents of thePosada del Sol apartments thatThanksgiving's most recogniza-ble icon-turkey-would be oneverybody's table.

The riders were members ofthe club known as ABATE No.38. They were assisting 12 localcharities in delivering about 400turkeys to the needy in the 21st

annual Turkey Run.ABATE, the acronym for

American Brotherhood AimedToward Education, is a nation-wide motorcycle-rights organiza-tion. El Centro resident EddieAranda, president of the No. 38chapter, explained why the turkeyrun was started so many yearsago.

"There are a lot of charitieswho get little or no funding. Wewanted to find a way to give backto the community and ride motor-

For those Imperial Countyresidents consoling themselveswith thoughts the well-publicizeddiscord in Congress is a far-offconflict, the renovation at theCalexico West Port of Entryslices in with a jolt of reality.

"We're at the federal govern-ment's mercy," conceded JesusEscobar, a customs broker andCalexico City Council memberwho soon will move on to a seaton the county Board ofSupervisors following his Nov. 6win over incumbent JohnRenison.

The $98-million phase 1 ofthe project, designed to improvethe flow of pedestrian and vehicletraffic through the bustling down-town port, is completed, accord-ing to the federal GeneralServices Administration oversee-ing the project.

However, the $276 millionfor phase 2 remains ensnarled inthe Washington, D.C., labyrinth.It is an environment chronicallyfraught with uncertainty and per-haps more so now as Democratsprepare to again take over theHouse of Representatives eager

to counter punch theirRepublican colleagues and theirboisterous leader, PresidentDonald J. Trump.

The phase 2 funding has hungin limbo for months as Congressand Trump wrangle through thebudget process for the 2018-19federal fiscal year that began Oct.1.

However, movement couldcome soon, Rebecca Terrazas-Baxter, county intergovernmentalrelations director, stated in a Nov.14 e-mail in response to aninquiry from this newspaper.

"In regards to Phase II fund-ing for the Port of Entry, we willlikely not have any update untilafter December 6, but we're hop-ing sooner," she wrote."Congress reconvened fromrecess this week for a lame ducksession and the remainder of thebudget is expected to be theirnumber one priority."

In the budget cycle to datefive of the 12 fiscal 2018-19appropriations bills have beencompleted, Terrazas-Baxter stat-ed.

"The other seven bills arerunning on a continuing resolution

While some positive budgetnews from the first quarter of thecurrent fiscal year was revealedat a Calexico City Council meet-ing on Nov. 14, the dark cloudhanging over the report camefrom a usual suspect-the city'sambulance service.

The situation is another blowto a city that has battled budgetdeficits in recent years and thecouncil's moves to eliminatethem.

Even though the council in

June more than tripled ambu-lance fees, it was revealed thecity has yet to see the full benefitsof the increase.

The city has not been able tocollect all the new fees, it wasrevealed at the meeting. Theresult is the city expects revenuefor the ambulance service to be$500,000 less for the 2018-19 fis-cal year than the $1,062,000 pro-jected in the year's original budg-et.

The information is includedin a budget report for the firstquarter of the fiscal year thatbegan July 1. It estimates the city

general fund will have 2018-19revenues of $16,648,307 andexpenditures of $16,398,259 fora projected year-end surplus of$250,048. The projected surpluswould be near triple that if theambulance fees had been collect-ed as estimated in the originalbudget.

"I believe what is happen-ing with the ambulance is thestate and federal government isreimbursing us at the old fee,"Mayor Lewis Pacheco said in atelephone interview. "About 85percent of ambulance calls arepaid through Medi-Cal andMedicare and the governmenthas not caught up to our new feestructure."

The basic-life-support ambu-lance call had been increasedfrom $360 to $1220 and theadvanced-life-support call from$449 to $1410.

Calexico now must negoti-ate the ambulance rates throughthe office of the city manager,Pacheco said. There is no esti-mated time when the issue willbe settled but until a new ratestructure is ratified the old feeswill remain in place, heexplained.

Deficits from the ambulanceservice provided by the city firedepartment have been a drag on

Fate Of Calexico PortFunding Looms In Congress

It took two seemingly longyears for Roy Dorantes to finishhis latest movie but it all paid off

when the film premiered Nov. 18to an enthusiastic crowd at theSan Diego State University,Imperial Valley Campus' RodneyAuditorium.

"Requiem for a Psychopath"was mostly filmed in El Centroduring weekends - Dorantes has aday job as a television reporter-and required a crew of 200,including cast, volunteers and theproduction crew. Strikingly, itwas completed with no money,only with the commitment ofdoing a great film with local tal-ent.

"It was two years of hardwork and passion. It's not

Hollywood but it's the ImperialValley," Dorantes said.

The movie is a crime-aware-ness film with the focus on psy-chopaths and some of their mostprominent behaviors. It takes the

viewer into the several differentstories connecting with the mainplot relating to psychopaths.Dorantes, a reporter for KSWTNews 13, has produced severalother theater and movie projectsthat include two other films,"Killing Chavez" released in2015 and "Respect Due" from2012.

One of the main actors ofRequiem is Barry Ries fromBrawley who played a bail bondenforcer. Reis said he is proud tobe part of the local art scene.

"I was happy to participateand got involved in this moviethrough word-of-mouth," Ries

said. Calexico resident Magdalena

Sanchez explained she was alsoinvited to act in the film thanksto a mutual friend of hers andDorantes.

"It was a new experience forme and it was very exciting to bepart of this," Sanchez said.

Dorantes said he is workingwith an organization called "ElAmigo De La Comunidad" led by

Erik Reyes that will help raisefunds for future local movie proj-ects and help them have betterproduction.

"We want to take this movieon tour, get more financing. Wewant to get local people and pro-mote their talent through localmovie productions such as thisone," Dorantes said.

Don Scoville was Dorantesright-hand person during the

movie production and said one ofthe major improvements of thisfilm compared to Dorantes' pre-vious one is the sound.

"I had no idea how movieswere made. Now when I see amovie I see all the work andpreparation that goes in there sothat the actor looks good,"Scoville said.

IVC Shows Vicious Bully Threat Even To AdultsBY WILLIAM ROLLER

Bullying does not just lurk onthe playgrounds of primaryschools but is also present at thehigher-education level, the work-place and even Imperial ValleyCollege.

That was the big-picture mes-sage as the IVC Student HealthCenter and Associated Student

Government co-organized theinaugural Anti-Bullying Event atthe college center on Nov. 14.

"We want to show studentshow to recognize signs of bully-ing, how to report cases andwhere to get assistance and sup-port," said Lupita Castro, IVCmental health counselor andmember of the anti-bullying paneldiscussion.

"We're examining cyberbully-

ing and how to deal with it,"added Miriam Trejo, IVC studentservices specialist. "We're alsoworking on the bystander effect--who to report to (on campus) ifyou witness bullying."

Along with several entitieshosting information tables, IVCinvited U.S. Customs and BorderProtection, already renowned fortheir anti-bullying forums at ele-mentary schools, to make a pres-entation.

El Centro Sector Agent OmarHermosillo pointed out bullyingstarts at home and that not alladults with children are necessari-ly parents because adults mustearn that status.

"It's important to know wheremisbehavior begins since bulliesacquire bad values in the home,"said Hermosillo. "But parents whoraise their kids with love, thosekids can go anywhere and getalong with anybody."

He cautioned not to show upat IVC and expect an "ivorytower" of academia. College stu-dents must apply themselves andremain aware of potential risksthat lurk on campus.

"Be careful. If you suspect asituation can affect your safety,alert law enforcement," saidHermosillo. "Bullies are not just

kids but can be adults of all ages.There's probably bullies at IVCright now."

Hermosillo noted bullyingshows itself in a pattern of con-stantly cruel behavior. It is andsometimes results from parentalabuse but can also be due to a lackof parental attention. Bullies oftencrave attention and have low self-esteem.

"But this is how you can fixthings: do things together as afamily by instilling manners,

respect and discipline," he said."Every student at IVC has a rightto be happy, but bullies try to takethat away from you. But you guysare a part of our community. Andthe CBP is here for you."

Hermosillo particularlyfocused on cyberbullying becausethat is where adults mostlyencounter it. He reminded theaudience all must be careful ofwhat they post online becausepersonal information can beshared with the world.

Happy Thanksgiving!!”

cycles," he said.The event has grown sizably

over the years from a small gath-ering of riding buddies to a verita-ble army of the Imperial Valley'sand Arizona's finest service-ori-

ented men and women. "Our first year 11 riders

showed up and donated 26turkeys to three charities," Arandaadded. "This year we had over100 riders."

Besides donating their timefor delivery, each rider con-tributed $10 and a turkey to thecause.

The run would not be possiblewithout support of local donorsand businesses, organizers said.Starbucks donated coffee, Wal-Mart helped with supplies for the

riders and El Centro Motorsdonated the use of two full-sizedtrucks to haul the turkeys sincecargo transport is not conduciveto motorcycle riding.

The riders assembled at the

Wal-Mart parking lot in El Centroat 10 a.m. on Nov. 17 and thennavigated a circuitous route deliv-ering turkeys to five locations.The first stop was the House ofHope shelter in El Centro.

The second stop was theNeighborhood House in Calexicowhere the group enjoyed home-made menudo and burritos forlunch.

After lunch, the convoy rodenorth on Highway 111 to St.Margret Mary Catholic Church inBrawley followed by a stop at

Faith Assembly church inImperial. The last leg of the runhad the riders arriving at theSister Evelyn Mourey Centercharity in the Posada del Sol com-plex at 2 p.m.

Danny Collins rode fromYuma with 20 fellow members ofthe Arizona ABATE to participatein this year's Turkey Run. Afterhelping unload turkeys fromtrucks at Posada del Sol he saidhis favorite part of the ride was,"handing turkeys out to peopleand getting to see their faces. Youknow the work you are doinggoes to a good cause."

When the bikers showed up atEvelyn Mourey residents startedforming a line with their turkey-vouchers in hand.

Susan Chasang, charity exec-utive director, explained,"ABATE tells us how many

turkeys they will be donatingbeforehand. We made 125 vouch-ers to give to residents forturkeys. Our center is the last stopon the ride and if they run out ofturkeys some families might gohome empty handed."

Thanks to ABATE's unrelent-ing efforts, that was not an issuethis year.

Gabina Tadeo said she hasbeen a resident of Posada del Solfor more than 30 years andremembers when Sister EvelynMourey, the charity's founder,first arrived in El Centro.

"I am grateful for thisThanksgiving and time to spendwith my family. They (MoureyCenter) help me with everything,like food, clothes and even aturkey," Tadeo said.

The dependability of theABATE's turkey run makes a

powerful impact on the communi-ty, Tadeo added, saying, "Theyhelp me with a turkey every year.They even help my family withgifts for Christmas."

Aranda said, "If you do thisride once, it could become yourfavorite ride of the year becauseyou get to see everyone youhelp."

Even the toughest-lookingriders struggled to hold back tearsat the end of the run. As the bikersrode off Posada del Sol residentswho had waited in line to getturkeys jumped, waived andoffered thanks.

Information about next year'sturkey run will be available atabate.org. Anyone interestedabout helping with this year'sChristmas toy drive may contactthe Mourey Center at (760) 352-1039.

Calexico native and chefEsdras Ochoa might be spendingtime in Mumbai, India, workingto open some restaurants, but hasnever left his hometown roots,taking a piece of his childhoodupbringing to different regions ofthe world.

The journey has led him to anew Netflix cooking competitionshow, "The Final Table," that willbegan streaming Nov. 20.

Born in Mexico City, Ochoa,36, attended school in Calexicoand graduated from CalexicoHigh School in 2000. Like all thepeople that grew up on the bor-der, he experienced two lan-guages, two cultures, and, mostimportant for him, the cuisine oftwo nations.

After graduation Ochoamoved to Los Angeles to studyfashion design and marketing atthe Fashion Institute of Design &Merchandising. While there hesaw plenty of Mexican food toeat, but recalls there wasn't alarge variety at the time or thespecialties like the street tacos ofMexicali. He recalled he didn'tsee flame-grilled meats, or anexpansive salsa bar to top tacos.

"I decided to take my savingsand invest into a mobile cartsetup, and found a parking lot at1st St. & Beaudry, and called itMexicali Taco & Co.," Ochoastated in a recent e-mail inter-view.

"The start was slow, but slow-ly but surely after several monthswe began to see longer andlonger lines," he added. "Withinthe first year, we were #1 rankedon Yelp L.A. even though weweren't a restaurant. In 2011, weopened our brick-and-mortar andbegan our restaurant history."

While he didn't know it at thetime, spending so much timetogether with his family is wherehe drew the most inspirationfrom as a chef.

"The countless times watch-ing my mother and aunts in thekitchen preparing food for us,showing us that love throughtheir cooking, is something that Ihave connected to more and moreas an adult, and especially now asa chef," Ochoa stated.

His cooking has deepSonoran roots and as suchinvolves lots of grilling on firewith charcoal, rustic preparationof vegetables, and hand-madeflour tortillas.

"Every restaurant I have con-

tinues to show my progress as achef but also connects me back tomy roots and the food that I grewup with," he added.

His work eventually led himto open a restaurant in HongKong, thanks to the motivation ofhis business partners, a Mexican-centric restaurant and bar in anup-and-coming part of HongKong called Kennedy Town.Ochoa stated the reception fromcustomers has been great andthose who know Mexican foodfrom the States appreciate the"taste of home" he is trying tobring to them.

He now splits his timebetween Los Angeles, HongKong and India.

The Final Table will featurecompetition between 12 pairs ofacclaimed and talented chefsfrom around the world preparingvarious cuisines. Eachculture/cuisine has a master chefwho will judge the battles untilthe field is whittled down to thefinalists.

"My partner is Chef RafaelGil whom I met and becamefriends with in Hong Kong, andwe had a blast together." headded.

Ochoa stated he wasapproached by the show produc-

ers while he was going to openthe restaurant in Honk Kong andthat he liked the concept. Hebelieves it was appealing to the

show producers that he was anuntrained but successful chef inLos Angeles with two restaurantswho now is expanding to Asia.Ever ambitious, he is followingup on the Hong Kong venture byan effort to open restaurants inIndia.

"Every business I start, everyperson I meet, every experience Ihave from traveling...it all con-

nects me back to Calexico andmy childhood," Ochoa explained.

He added, "I try to live mylife with the goal of creating great

food whose soul comes from mypersonal history--of whichCalexico is a big part of. I hopethat our younger generation willstrive for greatness and findingtheir place of success in thisworld."

County Looking To Obtain More Federal Funds BY MARIO CONDE

The opportunity to receivemore federal funding to improvethe quality of life in the unincor-porated areas of Imperial Countyis near thanks to the support of afederal agency.

Specifics of the programwere discussed at a special coun-ty Board of Supervisors meetingheld Nov. 15. The featured speak-er was Kim Dolbow Vann, direc-tor of California RuralDevelopment for the U.S.Department of Agriculture.

She spoke regarding grantopportunities.

"One of our focuses is to helpthe smaller counties in Californiaand we have been reaching out tothose communities that haven'ttaken advantage of our pro-grams," Dolbow Vann, anappointee of President Donald J.Trump, told the board.

USDA offers programs thatfund housing construction, busi-ness expansion and communityfacilities improvements.

Explaining the impact furtherfederal dollars could have,

Dolbow Vann said the agency hasover the years invested $82 mil-lion into Imperial County. Thatincludes $48 million in single-family housing and $13 millionon multi-family.

In the community facilitiesprogram, USDA has invested $1million in water and $3.5 millionfor wastewater. Business invest-ment totals $100,000.

Supervisor John Renisonasked if the county could applyfor business funding under itsrecently expanded and reorgan-ized economic developmentefforts. Dolbow Vann respondedby stating rural-developmentfunding could be used for work-force development or businessretention and attraction.

"You need to tell me and myteam what you need," DolbowVann said.

She added there might be fed-eral funds available in the next 24months or infrastructure such asroads, and water and sewer serv-ices. The county should prioritizeits needs and plans to meet themso it can apply for funding, shestressed.

Discussing the need for more

road funding, county PublicWorks Director John Gay saidImperial County is fifth amongstate counties in mileage use inbut 31st in road funding.

"The gas tax funding (fromstate Senate Bill 1) represents a40-percent increase in our budgetand we began to roll out projectsthat benefit the agricultural com-munity," Gay said and addedmany unincorporated towns inthe county, such as Heber, lackadequate curbs, gutters and side-walks.

"We haven't applied for aroad project with USDA and wedo have gaps in funding. That'swhy our staff is seeking anyfunding to help us with road proj-ects," Gay said.

Supervisor Luis Plancartesaid putting sidewalks in placessuch as Heber and Seeley willcost millions and with USDA thecounty might have a tool toaddress those issues.

"The projects they offerimprove the quality of life of peo-ple with better sidewalks andlighting. That will increase thepride among the people livingthere," Plancarte said.

IID Sends Crews To HelpNorthern California RecoverFrom Devastating Camp Fire

Projects For Niland And Seeley Expected To Advance BY MARIO CONDE

The unincorporated commu-nities of Niland and Seeley areexpected to see improvementsin their quality of life with newstate funding on its way.

The Imperial County Boardof Supervisors on Nov. 20 wasscheduled to accept a $6.3 mil-lion Community DevelopmentBlock Grant from the stateDepartment of Housing andCommunity Development.

The funds will go to the

Seeley County Water District forreplacement of water lines and toNiland for a new public safetyfacility, which will include a firestation, county Sheriff's Officesubstation and acommunity/cooling center.

In Seeley current water linesare more than 50 years old andvery deteriorated, the countyreported. As a result, water linesregularly burst due to water pres-sure, which the district mustlower as a preventive measure.

"Once the water lines arefixed, the community of Seeley

will benefit from a better waterflow and from not having issueswith interruption of water whilefixing the lines," said EsperanzaColio-Warren, a county deputychief executive officer whooversees economic develop-ment.

Meanwhile, Niland residentswill benefit by having a muchbetter fire station and a facilityfor shelter during the hottestdays of summer.

"If a resident or family's ACbreaks, they can shelter at thecooling center during the day

while their AC is being fixed,"Colio-Warren stated.

The cooling center will alsobe an alternative for non-profitorganizations to use while pro-viding services to the communi-ty such as meals on wheels.

Colio-Warren said with theacceptance of the grant theNiland facility engineeringdesigns and environmental clear-ance are expected to be complet-ed in the next six months.Construction is expected tobegin in fall 2019.

For the Seeley the water-sys-

tem improvements the environ-mental clearance process isexpected to be completed in thenext three to four months andconstruction started spring 2019.

The county sought the grantthrough its Community andEconomic DevelopmentDepartment. Of the $6.3 milliongrant, $5 million came from theCommunity Development allo-cation and $1.3 million from theColonias allocation.

Late Monday afternoon,November 19, three of ImperialIrrigation District’s energy con-struction crews and one IIDemergency response team headedto Paradise, California to helpthat Northern California arearecover from some of the mostdevastating wildfires in thestate’s history.

IID’s crews will be on the jobanywhere from 14-18 days to “dowhatever is needed,” said TimDickerson, energy constructionand maintenance superintendentfor the district’s La Quinta divi-sion.

“It may be a lot of overheadwork,” Dickerson said, “but basi-cally, we’ll be setting poles anddo distribution work when neces-sary,” in an effort to restore elec-

tricity to the devastated area.Located in Butte County, east

of Chico and north ofSacramento, the Camp Fire is thedeadliest and most destructivewildfire in California history. Itstarted on November 8 and hascaused 77 civilian fatalities, cov-ered an area of about 151,000acres and destroyed about 12,000single-family homes and forcedthousands to evacuate.

In total, IID is sending a teamof 17 that includes energy lineconstruction personnel, emer-gency responders and a mechan-ic.

The district has a mutual aidagreement with most utilities.The request to assist at the CampFire was made by Pacific Gas &Electric.

It was a night of multiple cel-ebrations at Gran Plaza Outlets inCalexico last week as throngsturned out to take advantage of themall's specials, enjoy art andmusic, and begin the holiday sea-son.

The mall celebrated its fifthanniversary on Nov. 16 and host-ed another Art Walk on theBorder.

"We are happy and thankfulthe people of Mexicali andImperial Valley have supported usall these years," said CesarCasillas, mall general manager."We generate 900 jobs and wehave the brands and savings thatpeople wanted and there is stillmore things to come."

Thousands attended as variousvendors and artists, as well as afestive Christmas tree lighting, signified the beginning of the hol-

iday season just a week beforeThanksgiving. Santa Claus was onhand to be photographed withchildren.

Gran Plaza Outlets openedfive years ago, giving the region anew shopping option of the typeseen in larger metropolitan areas.Overcoming some obstacles, thereare plans for improvements andexpansion beginning in 2019,mall officials revealed.

Casillas said the enclosure ofGran Plaza will begin the firstweek of January, making it anindoor air-conditioned mall. Nextwill come expansion with newanchor stores includingBurlington, TJ Maxx and Ross.

The celebration of the fifthanniversary coincided with thebeginning of "El Buen Fin," theMexican version of the American"Black Friday" kickoff to the hol-iday shopping season.

The Art Walk on the Border,which has been staged several

times, has become one of GranPlaza's biggest attractions byopening a venue for artists to dis-play their creations and live musicproviding a festive backdrop.

Among the performers waslocal singer Victor Bosc.

"I was invited to the first artwalk and everyone has been treat-ing me well," Bosc said.

Among the artists present wasJose Angel Martinez fromMexicali who studied art at theAutonomous University of BajaCalifornia. Thanks to his educa-tion at the university he has beenable to draw a diversity of themesthat go from zodiac pictures toHalloween-themed paintings.

He is part of a group thatfocuses on plastic art or animedrawings. It recently had an exhi-bition in Mexicali.

"All of us in the collective likethe horror-themed drawings andwe tend to produce a lot of thatart," Martinez said.

Thanksgiving isvery spiritual and I think every-body should have a traditionaldinner that day."

"I tell my family,Thanksgiving is mine butChristmas is for them," she said.

Another long-time volunteerwho also works as a cashier at thestore, Todd Young, said what heespecially enjoys about volunteer-ing on Thanksgiving is the cama-raderie among all who donatetheir time.

"I like the teamwork of thecommunity that goes into it," saidYoung. "I love when we serve the

plates ... the smiles on people'sfaces gives me joy. And you knowwhat? A lot of people come fromthe surrounding neighborhoodsbecause they shop at the thriftstore and they see the group cohe-sion we have here. Thanksgivingis the day family comes together."

Along with turkey, SalvationArmy guests will enjoy stuffing,mashed potatoes, green beans,dinner rolls, pumpkin pie andcheese cake. Antonio Ortathanked the Kiwanis Club EarlyRisers for donations along withbenefactors Golden State WaterCompany, Lucky's, Costco, Vonsand Aldi.

Border Patrol

CALEXICO, Calif. - ElCentro Sector Border Patrolagents arrested a convicted sexoffender at 4:50 a.m.

Agents assigned to the area,approximately three miles east ofthe Calexico Port of Entry,observed a man running northfrom the international borderfence. Agents approached theman and determined that he wasillegally present in the UnitedStates. Agents arrested the manand transported him to the ElCentro Station for processing.

Rangel-Rea had a felony rapeconviction from 2008 in SantaRosa, California. He was sen-tenced to 32 months in jail.Record checks also revealed thatRangel-Rea was previouslyremoved in December of 2015.

"Thankfully we were able toapprehend this man before hemade it to the interior of theUnited States," said Chief PatrolAgent Gloria I. Chavez. "Ouragents are keeping heinous crim-inals like Rangel off the streets."

The man will be criminallyprosecuted for Re-Entry afterRemoval as a convicted sexoffender.

In fiscal year 2019, El CentroSector Border Patrol agents havearrested and removed six convict-ed sex offenders attempting toenter the United States illegally.

Border Patrol Arrest SexOffender with Gang

Affiliations

CALEXICO, Calif. - BorderPatrol agents assigned to ElCentro Sector arrested a convict-ed sex offender and gang memberSunday afternoon.

The incident occurred atapproximately 4:15 p.m., afteragents assigned to the CalexicoStation arrested a man near theCalexico Port of Entry for illegal-ly crossing the international bor-der. Agents determined the manwas a citizen of Mexico illegallypresent in the United States.

Border Patrol agents conduct-ed record checks, which revealedthat 34-year-old, AntonioVillasenor Nunez, had a previouscriminal record. In 2005,Villasenor was convicted for sex-ual battery and was sentenced to60 days in prison. In 2007,Villasenor was convicted of vehi-cle theft and sentenced to sixmonths in prison. In 2009,Villasenor was convicted of falseidentification to peace officersand was sentenced to 20 days inprison. In 2012, Villasenor wasconvicted of robbery and wassentenced to two years in prison.

Additionally, Villasenor pre-viously removed from the UnitedStates in 2007 by an immigrationjudge.

Villasenor is a member of thePaisa prison gang, and will beheld pending criminal prosecu-tion for his illegal entry into theUnited States.

"It can be used against you ifyou upload inappropriate mes-sages or images," he said. "Butyou can report online bullies.Take a screen shot. Then forwardit to the Internet provider and thebully can blocked (from socialmedia) and have his contract can-celled. Don't hesitate to involvelaw enforcement if your mes-sages or pictures are used inap-propriately."

Also serving on the facultypanel was Jose Plascencia, col-lege Extended OpportunityProgram and Services counselor,who recalled as a primary stu-dent he was always a magnet forbullying and hoped adults oncampus would intervene. It onlyceased when he made the footballteam in high school.

"I was never assaulted but it'sa fear that preys upon you," saidPlascencia. "Bullies deliberatelyinstill fear. They do it to force shypeople to stand up for them-

selves. It's good to have thisforum. But it might be better tohave whole classrooms to attend.Give students an incentive likeoffering course credit."

An IVC student in atten-dance, Sean Dhillon, a criminaljustice sophomore, recalled hewas the victim of bullying. Hesaid he was bullied by a relativewho berated him for being stupid.He said he wished no one wouldever say mean things but conced-ed that is not the real world.

"It's not about whether peoplelike you but if they're doing rightby you," he said. "I don't believethere's such a thing as a safespace because now bullies canattack you behind a screen sayingthings they'd never say to yourface. You have to learn to over-come criticism. If you're sensitiveyou have to discipline yourself toconfront your fears so you won'tbe intimidated."

Thanksgiving weekend,traditionally one of the busiesttravel times in America, canalso be one of the deadliest onthe roadways. To helpmotorists avoid tragedies, theCalifornia Highway Patrol(CHP) will have all availableofficers on patrol during thisMaximum EnforcementPeriod (MEP).

The MEP begins at 6:01p.m. on Wednesday,November 21, and continuesthrough 11:59 p.m. onSunday, November 25.During the MEP, CHP officerswill educate motorists andenforce traffic safety lawsthroughout the state to ensureeveryone has a safe holiday.Officers will be actively look-ing for unsafe driving prac-tices, including seat belt vio-lations, speed, distracted driv-

ing and, of course, signs ofdriving impairment.

Last year, the AutomobileClub of Southern Californiaestimated that 5.37 millionCalifornians were planning totravel by motor vehicle thisThanksgiving weekend. Thisyear, that number is likely toincrease. Unfortunately, 2017saw a 61 percent increase infatalities during the same timeperiod in 2016, from 31 to 50people killed as a result ofcollisions within CHP’s juris-diction.

Not wearing a seat belt canbe a fatal decision in a colli-sion. According to the CHP’s2017 Thanksgiving MEP data,among the 46 people killed incollisions within CHP juris-diction, 59 percent of those, or27 people, were not wearing aseat belt. Research continues

to show that wearing a seatbelt is one of the simplestthings people can do to staysafe when traveling in a vehi-cle.

“Whatever your destina-tion this Thanksgiving,remember to buckle up andavoid distractions while driv-ing and give yourself plentyof time for your trip so youand your passengers canarrive safely,” CHPCommissioner WarrenStanley said. “Rememberingto wear your seat belt everyday is a good practice, buttake extra care over the longholiday to ensure you are ableto enjoy the festivities withfriends and family.”

The mission of theCalifornia Highway Patrol isto provide the highest level ofSafety, Service, and Security.

CHP To Have Extra PatrolsOver Thanksgiving Holiday

Despite the ambulance issue,during a presentation to thecouncil and a later telephoneinterview, Karla Lobatos,finance director, said the overallbudget numbers are encourag-ing. Calexico has spent much ofthe last two years wrangling toget out from deficit that at onepoint reached $3.2 million.

"The good news is, at thispoint, we expect to have a sur-plus by the end of FY (fiscalyear) 2018-19," Lobatos said.

The project general-fund sur-plus of $250,048 in the first-quarter update is down $26,000

from the $276,048 surplus pro-jected in the original 2018-19budget.

However, Lobatos qualifiedher optimism with a caution,stating the report is only an esti-mate and a surplus will only holdif the city continues controllingexpenses and retaining staffvacancies. The city is projectedto save $261,000 for the yeardue to vacancies, Lobatosreported.

After hearing from Lobatosthe council approved 4-0 thebudget adjustments for the firstquarter of the 2018-19 fiscal

year. Member Bill Hodge wasabsent.

Other budget update high-lights include:

•$700,000 revenue from theMeasure K cannabis tax passedNov. 6, up from the originalbudget projection of $300,000

•$21,000 from the Measure Jhotel tax increase passed Nov. 6,an amount not included in theoriginal budget

•The loss of a $125,000 grantfor traffic control

E.C. Preparing To ApplyFor More Federal Funding

BY WILLIAM ROLLER

El Centro can again qualify forfederal grants for a variety ofprojects to enhance the localquality of life but has some workto do before those funds becomeavailable.

The city council was scheduledto consider the matter of U.S.Department of Housing andUrban Development aid at itsNov. 20 meeting, whichoccurred after this newspaper'sdeadline.

Applications for the grants forthe 2019-20 fiscal year must befiled before pre-set deadlines,officials from the city'sDepartment of CommunityServices reported. The cityreceived $570,000 in such fund-ing for the current 2018-19 fiscalyear.

Mayor Cheryl Viegas-Walker,in a pre-Thanksgiving telephoneinterview, noted since HUD can-

not confirm the city's estimatedallocation for the 2019-20 fiscalyear El Centro is advised to usethe fiscal 2018-19 allocation as aguide.The city is required to prepare a

one-year action plan to addresshousing needs. Public hearingson the matter are scheduled forNov. 26 and Dec. 3."We invite different agencies to

come in. It's under HUD but thegrant can be used for thingsother than housing," said Viegas-Walker. "For example, in 2017we provided funds to CatholicCharities for their senior nutri-tion program and also set asidefor improvements to McGeePark."

She added, "We expect thesame funding. Previously we gotalmost $800,000. But what thismeans is there's never enough tosupport all the programs we'dlike to fund."

In another matter, cityCommunity Services was to

present a summary of numerouspopular parks and recreationactivities that have trouble cov-ering costs, noted City ManagerMarcela Piedra.

"We started a fee study at thebeginning of the year and hope-fully by January we'll be able tomake a decision on possibly rais-ing fees because these programsare not self-sustaining," saidPiedra.

She added 14 percent of thegeneral fund is used to prop upseveral programs such as HalfPint. It was for three to six yearolds coached in sports develop-ment, arts and crafts, and read-ing. But the program closed inOctober.

"Increasing wages mainlyimpacted programs," saidPiedra. "But we'll consider vari-ous scenarios to save programswe currently have by maybereducing hours per day or thenumber of days per week."


Inked: Tattoo Artists Gather In ImperialBY JAYSON BARNISKE

The sound of several tattooguns buzzing simultaneouslyfilled the air at the Ricochetsports and events center inImperial during the SecondAnnual Desert Sunsets TattooExpo.

More than 40 vendors partici-pated in the event that took placefrom Nov. 16-18. It was organ-ized by Juan Gamez, owner of ElCentro's iconic tattoo parlorIncredibles.

"This year we had severallocal artists participating. We hadartists from all over California,Arizona, and even from a shop inChicago," he said.

Gamez invited Mestor"Mero" Cisneros from the far-away Windy City to attend theevent through a mutual friend.

Talking about his individualstyle of tattooing, Cisneros said,"Our shop in Chicago is a streetshop. We get a variety of peoplewho want different tattoos. Mygoal is to make sure people getwhat they want."

For the uninitiated, the art oftattoo may seem only taboo.Education is an important part ofevery tattoo artist's job.

Cisneros said, "I do a consul-tation with all my clients beforeeach tattoo. This is where I caneducate them, find out what theywant and get the jist of their per-sonality."

Junior Faumui and his wifeJeanette own Speakeasy InkLounge in Bullhead City, Ariz.and traveled to El Centro for theevent.

When asked about ImperialValley's tattoo artists Junior said,"All the artists are great here.There are a few people in theValley that are really talented andpeople here are really humble."

Faumui began working on histattoo rendition of the three wisemonkeys--see no evil, speak noevil, hear no evil--for his client,Steve Gingrich.

Gingrich, who had beendesigning the tattoo over a year,explained, "Tattooing is a greatway to express my life philoso-phy through art."

The event was well-attended

and at some busy moments itseemed every artist in buildingwas working on a tattoo. A tattooartist might specialize in differenttypes of tattoos such as black andwhite, portraits, or lettering.Every genre of tattoo art was ade-quately represented throughoutthe weekend.

Ink Mindset Studios broughttwo artists to the expo. Despite itbeing their first time in theValley, they had completed eighttattoos in the first two days of theevent.

Ink Mindset manager Oreoexplained how one becomes a tat-too artist, saying, "At our shopwe do a two-year apprenticeshipprogram where you learn allaspects of tattooing. We onlyaccept people with backgroundsin art."

The tattoo industry has devel-oped its own unique self-regulat-ed apprentice standards.

"You start tattooing on syn-thetic skins and give away thefirst 50 tattoos," Oreo added. "Wehave two spaces opening thisJanuary 2nd for apprentices atInk Mindset studios. Anyone in

the Valley interested in learningcan reach out to me."

The popularity of tattooinghas grown exponentially in theValley in the past 25 years, localartists said.

Pleased the with healthy evo-

lution of the local tattoo commu-nity Gamez concluded, "When Istarted there was nothing here.It's good to see artists and thepublic become more educatedand (artists) implementing safertattooing practices."

Port..................................from page onethrough December 7, includingthe Financial Services appropria-tions package where funding forthe Port of Entry project is antici-pated to be included," sheexplained.

A continuing resolution is atemporary funding measureCongress can use to fund the fed-eral government at current fund-ing levels for a limited amount oftime in order to avoid a full or par-tial government shutdown.

Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. JuanVargas, whose district includesImperial County, is fresh off aneasy re-election run but was mumon the port project.

"Unfortunately, theCongressman is unavailable forcomment - my apologies," AnnieGoyzueta, a press aide for Vargasin Washington wrote in a Nov. 15e-mail in response to an inquiryfrom this newspaper.

When asked in a follow-up e-mail to clarify if that meantVargas just will not be availableby the deadline for this story or if

he is not commenting on the issueat this time, Goyzueta did notimmediately respond.

In a newsletter mailed to con-stituents over the summer hereported, "…I'm currently work-ing in Congress to secure $276million in funding for Phase 2."

Phase 2 of the port project willinclude additional sitework, dem-olition of the existing port build-ing, a new pedestrian processingfacility, administrative offices,five southbound inspection laneswith canopies and booths, and sixadditional northbound inspectionlanes.

Phase 1, which the GSAreported was completed inSeptember, includes five south-bound lanes and a southboundbridge over the New River, 10northbound inspections lanes withprimary and secondary inspectioncanopies, booths and inspectionequipment, a new headhouse, andsitework to accommodate thosefacilities on the sloping site.

Both phases are seen locally

as vital to the area's economy.Opened in 1974, the port is wide-ly considered outdated and unableto handle the daily average of upto 20,000 vehicles and 20,000pedestrians who use it to enter theU.S. Northbound delays canstretch for several hours at peaktimes.

County and Calexico officialsadvocating for the improvementcite studies concluding delayscost millions in the time added forcrossing, fuel and the dampeningeffect in which many simply nolonger cross the border due to thedelays.

"It's significant," Escobar saidof the need for phase 2. "They'retearing down the old port for anew pedestrian crossing. Thesooner it gets done, the better."

Shoppers coming on foot fromMexicali to downtown Calexicohave for decades been a driver ofthe local economy but many feelthat has ebbed in recent years, inpart due to border delays.

County officials, including the

departing Renison, have lobbiedhard for phase 1 and 2, includingon several trips to Washington.Escobar, who takes office inJanuary, vowed that will continue.

"The county needs to push onour representatives. It's the onlything we can do," he said.

Trump is an ally in the battle.He included the $276 million forphase 2 in his 2018-19 budgetproposal to Congress. However,presidential budgets never stay intact as Congress develops the finalversion through exhaustive andlengthy political battles.

As such, while the Housewent with Trump's amount, theSenate proposed slashing it to$175 million, Terrazas-Baxterstated in a July report to the coun-ty board. The hope, she added,was that a compromise would fallin between.

Funding for phase 2 was leftout of the 2017-18 federal budgetTrump signed in March 2018.Shortly thereafter, federal offi-cials, including Vargas' office and

Andra P. Higgs, a GSA publicaffairs officer, had no comment onwhy.

The GSA website simplystates phase 2 is unfunded. Thereis no further information onmonies for it.

In regard to sparse informa-tion on phase 2 funding, little haschanged over the months as thefate of a vital infrastructure proj-ect hangs in the balance in adeeply divided Congress. Whilethere is hope phase 1 will improveborder congestion, the uncertaintyover phase 2 is a dark cloud.

Asked what would happen ifphase 2 is not funded, Escobarlamented, "Border wait timeswon't be improved. It's a hugeblow for people that cross on adaily basis."

Even if funding does come, headded patience will be needed.

"It's a three- to five-yearprocess," to finish phase 2,Escobar said.
